For safety reasons, it is not possible to store the seat position in the electric
seat memory and remote control key memory if the inclination angle of the
seat backrest is more than 102° in relation to the seat cushion.

Seat heaters
Fig. 72
Heating: Front seats/ rear seats
The seat backrests and surfaces of the front seats and the outer rear seats
can be heated electrically.
The seat heating can only be switched on when the engine is running.

 .
By pressing the button once, the heating is switched to the highest intensity -
level 3, which is indicated by all three of the warning lights in the switch illumi-
nating.
With repeated pressing of the switch, the heating is turned down until it goes
off.
The seat heating level is indicated by the number of illuminated warning lights
in the respective control. 

The vehicle must be locked and unlocked with the same key to save the seat and exterior mirror position
to the key.
85Seats and practical features

If the engine is switched off and then turned on again within 10 mins with the
rear seat heating switched, then each rear seat heating is automatically turned
on again.WARNINGIf you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g. through
medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we rec-
ommend not to use the seat heating. This can lead to burns on the back,
the posterior and the legs which are difficult to heal. If the seat heating is
used, we recommend to make regular breaks in your journey when driving
long distances, so that the body can recuperate from the stress of the jour-
ney. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■The seat heater in the following cases will not turn on - there is a risk of
damaging the seat covers and seat heater. ■The seats are not occupied.
■ Items are fastened to or stored on the seats e.g. child seat, bags etc.
■ Additional seat covers or protective covers are fixed to the seats.■
Clean the seat covers » page 182, Seat covers .
Note
■
If the rear seat heating is set to the highest intensity - level 3, it is automati-
cally switched over to level 2 after 10 minutes (two warning lights are illumina-
ted on the switch).■
If the on-board voltage drops, the heater switches off automatically in order
to provide sufficient electrical power for the engine control » page 197.
Ventilated front seats
Fig. 73
Rocker switch for the seat venti-
lation
Heat and condensation can be removed from the seat cushions and seat
backrests on the front seats.
The ventilation is operated using the rocker switch » Fig. 73 in the front part of
the seat cushion, in front of the seat control elements for the electric front
seat adjustment.
Switching on›
Switch the rocker switch to position 1 - lower intensity and to position 2 -
higher intensity.
Switching off
›
Switch the rocker switch to the centre position 
.
WARNINGIf you or a passenger have limited pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g.
caused by medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),
we recommend that you consult your physician before using the ventilated
front seat.
CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■The fan is located underneath the front seat cushion. Do not place any ob-
jects in this area - it may damage the fan.■
Do not clean the seats using moisture. Clean the seat covers » page 182,
Seat covers .
Note
■
The ventilation should only be switched on when the engine is running. This
has a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity.■
We do not recommend using the front seat ventilation and heating at the
same time. Using the ventilation to cool the seat surface considerably reduces
the heating capacity, at the same time affecting the ability of the control unit
to detect the right seat surface temperature.
